Protest Corporate Funding of the NAACP

4/29/08

This week’s action alert asks readers to protest corporate funding of the NAACP. Despite his record of slander against whites, Jeremiah Wright was invited to speak at an NAACP dinner held in Detroit on Sunday night. The president of the Detroit NAACP chapter had nothing but kind words for Wright, who also received a standing ovation. I’ve written up a sample e-mail that you can send to the NAACP’s corporate sponsors and included contact information for them. Please do your part by sending my e-mail or one of your own composition.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I demand that your corporation end its sponsorship of the NAACP. While the organization claims to be a “champion of social justice,” its support of disgraced pastor Jeremiah Wright proves that it does not believe in treating American whites justly.

Not only did the NAACP sponsor Wright as its speaker at an event in Detroit on April 27, but the local NAACP chapter president publicly praised him. By doing so, the NAACP legitimated Wright’s outrageous anti-white slanders.

As is well known to anyone who has been paying attention to the news in the past few months, in his sermons at Chicago’s Trinity Church, Wright claimed that:

Wright has designated “white America” the “US of KKKA.” Additionally, Wright’s church gave an award to Louis Farrakhan, whose organization, the Nation of Islam, has urged violence against whites and promoted the kind of conspiracy theories that Wright preaches in his church.

Despite the fact that Wright has expressed no regret for making these statements and continues to defend them, Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit NAACP chapter, praised Wright in his introductory remarks. Anthony called Wright the “hottest brother in America right now—outside of Barack Obama” and an “innovator and sustainer of the word of God.” Wright received a standing ovation from the audience.

The NAACP has been promoting the demonization of whites for years. In 2006, NAACP president Julian Bond said, “The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side.” During the debate over the California Civil Rights Initiative in 1996, the NAACP sponsored ads linking opponents of affirmative action like Pete Wilson, then the governor of California, and Newt Gingrich to the KKK.

Given this history, it is irresponsible for your corporation to continue to donate to the NAACP. I will think twice before using your products and services until you end your sponsorship of anti-white hatred.

Sincerely,

Corporate Contacts

If you look at the sponsors listed for NAACP events (see here and here, for example), it seems that there are few corporations that do not fund the NAACP. Below I’ve given listed just a few of the NAACP’s sponsors along with links to the appropriate e-mail addresses and contact forms. Please send the message above to all of the contacts below. Feel free to snoop around the NAACP website for further corporate contacts.
